(The Hill) Two liberal voter rights advocacy groups sent a letter to the White House on Wednesday saying the voter registration services provided under the Affordable Care Act are “grossly inadequate” and violate the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

Demos and Project Vote contend that the application process through the federal exchanges don’t provide sufficient voter registration services, and that the “several million” people who have sought coverage under ObamaCare “did not receive an effective offer to register to vote as required by law.”

“[We] request that you direct the Department of Health and Human Services to make the changes necessary to ensure compliance,” the letter reads.
